I dunno how many of you have heard about Miller Beer's 1 second SuperBowl Ads. Rather than spending the $3 million for one spot, they're gonna stretch it out over the course of the game. 30, 1 second spots.

(Edit: I'm really getting angrier about this by the second [no pun] becuse I just KNOW that after Fitzgerald or somebody catches a 9 7/8 yard pass on 3rd and 10, this guy will pop in and go "Miller Time!" As if the most important game of the year is now Best Week Ever. GOD.)

I don't mean to seem like I care about material things (like a social status,)I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls

I think someone's got bad information. There will be ONE :01 ad, and it MAY air during the local affiliate spots (:05) if the local affiliate sells Miller the time. The Ad Age story isn't available for free anymore, but you can get most of the info here (jsonline.com).

Besides, they've already been one-upped - or one half upped? - by Ivar's :00.5 ad which will air on KING. Click Here (bizjournals.com) ;-)

My apologies, I did not do my due diligence with regards to the commercials.

Take evasive action...Green group, stay close to holding group MG7...It's a trap!

Oh that's what that was! I kept thinking that something was wrong because we'd get this Ivars flash and a Miller flash. I just don't buy into the hype of commercials during the SB. Yeah, they are new and "cutting edge" but I tune in to watch the game mostly.

You got the HALF second commercial? What was it?

(We DID get the HIGHLIFE commercial locally - the two seconds of black screen immediately following it seemed kinda ironic, and MAYBE allowed the Miller commercial to sink in - naah, just kidding, the only people who acknowledged it at the party I was at were the people who were keenly looking out for it in the first place)

EDIT: Ahahaha of COURSE it's on YouTube (youtube.com) - it goes without saying that I like it more than the Miller ad and also feel regret that I am not within 20 miles of an Ivar's...

We're keeping it for "Empire Falls" which is being shown on May 28th and 29th. It was filmed in our neck of the woods (Skowhegan, Waterville and Winslow, Maine), so we got to see a lot of it while it was being made.
